Full terms. If an order circulating in the freight market is subject to "full terms" this implies that in addition to the usual commissions, owners may have to allow certain reductions, which are customary in the trade in question. It is therefore important to ascertain in advance what percentage will have to be deducted from the rate of freight in order to have a clear picture of the position.

This expression also implies that despatch money will be due for any time saved in loading and discharging.
